    Chronic postoperative inguinal pain (CPIP) affects 10-12% of patients after inguinal hernia repair, limiting daily activities in up to 6%.

  • 2

    Adductor tendinopathy may contribute to CPIP, characterized by localized pain during adduction or compression of the adductor tendon.

  • 3

    Adductor tenotomy is considered a last-resort surgical option for patients with therapy-resistant adductor tendinopathy related to CPIP.

  • 4

    This study evaluates the efficacy of adductor tenotomy in patients with CPIP, either alone or combined with other surgical interventions.

    The study was conducted at Máxima Medical Centre, focusing on patients with a history of mesh-based inguinal hernia repair and CPIP.
